Those weirdly position links that go from the one side of the axle to the body post holders, do they create a 4-link suspension along with a single upper link and the two lower links? I can't tell for sure. Looks cool though! I'm interested in hearing your durability reports, especially on that worm drive.

I'm not sure what you mean by weirdly positioned link? Do you mean the one that is right above the servo? So far durability has been really good no broken parts to report as of yet. Here a couple of new pics as i have made some changes now. I got rid of the really heavy 6 cell battery and got a small Orion mini pack to lower the center of gravity and also i changed where the steering link was, i mounted on the upper part of the hubs for a little more clearance. I also added a much better digital servo as well. I have ordered the high speed gear set as well as the dig set so more updates to come.

Hey, when you articlate the front axle, does the panhard bar pull or push the axle sideways much? I am just wondering as it will move the axle as the length relative to the chassis changes as it moves thru the arc. Also, which axle has more articulation, front or rear. Truck looks nice, you have done a nice job keeping it tidy...
